Vibrant LCD Screen
Personalise your keyboard on a whole new level with a brilliant, innovative 1.9", 320 x 170 IPS colour screen you can use to display custom animations, images, rotary dial integration, and more.
Detailed Craftsmanship
The sleek, sculpted aluminium frame is the perfect complement to the keyboard's elegantly compact design. The low-profile of the 6 G-keys allows them to be easy to find, but tough to accidentally press.
Quad-Layer Sound Dampening
4 layers of sound dampening foam help keep unwanted keyboard noise to a minimum, so you're better able to enjoy your satisfying keypress acoustics.
Hot-Swappable Corsair MLX Switches
Wobble-free CORSAIR MLX keyswitches feature pre-lubricated stems and Fresnel lensing for stunning RGB lighting. Refined for top-tier responsiveness and rated for 80 million keypresses. VANGUARD 96 also features hotswap support for compatible 3-pin and 5-pin switches.
